The Little Theatre on the Square: Four Decades of a Small-Town Equity Theatre

by Beth Conway Shervey

The Idea of Theaters in Small Cities and Towns. 

Exploiting remnant single screen theaters as venues for live performances or, in some cases, first run movies is an opportunity not to be missed. Who knew there exists a “little theater movement” as cited below? 

The Little Theater on the Square points the way. Performances of travelling shows, local performances, lectures and civic events can all happen in a theater downtown. 

Save the old single screen theaters until you can afford to restore them and have them incorporated into the city’s asset base that enriches the community.
